TODAY: US and Russian press respond differently to missile talks. NATO ambassadors say Russia should not fear the alliance. Abramovich to build Channel Tunnel-style link between Russia and America? Court witness accuses Khodorkovsky of murder. Schools to censor internet access. Mixed reactions in the press today to US-Russia missile defense talks. One newspaper says “US negotiatiors” see the talks as having made progress, and the BBC has picked up this positive tone. The Russian press, however, is portraying a different view, one saying the two sides had “failed to settle differences”, quoting the Russian Deputy Foreign Minister. The widow of Neftyugansk Mayor Vladimir Petukhov, has testified in court that ex-Yukos CEO Mikhail Khodorkovsky was behind the 1998 murder of her husband, basing her accusation on the fact that she could think of “no one else but Khodorkovsky who could have done it”. The US ambassador to NATO says former Soviet republics will bolster stability in a trouble-prone region and that the alliance shouldn’t be seen by Russia as a “four-letter word”. NATO Secretary General Jaap de Hoop Scheffer cautioned Vladimir Putin against using “unhelpful,” anti-western rhetoric at next week’s annual summit meeting. The Moscow Times has picked up on US presidential candidate John McCain’s call to exclude Russia from the G8 and accusation against Russia of “nuclear blackmail.”
